Wide open doors!

Caught a little one on one time with Laila before the journey.

Imagine: just weeks into his faith, Ethan and I were on mission in the heart of Peru. Too many God stories for a short update, but what a whirlwind of divine appointments and kingdom work. Debbie did an amazing job holding down the fort for 9 days with 4 kids. I praise the Lord for her!

Ethan and I catching a bus in Arequipa. A 10 mile ride for $.68 NOT BAD!

Our first leg: Lima.

Mission: Ignite church unity and add fuel for the 2026 church plant. We dove headfirst into local complexities, but the passion? Undeniable!  Result: Clear vision for shepherding the existing church. Clear next steps for church plant in motion.  And in the middle or all this, a spark: Wilber, a father, businessman and seminary student, yearning to bring the Gospel back to his hometown, an agricultural province. We're on it, forging a discipleship path and preparing for a future impact journey. May God guide this in every way.

Worship and Communion on at Vida Nueva. Glory to God!

Another blessing in Lima:  The Pilcos and a small church in Musa, growing for the first time in years! Dream: Reaching Jireh, a gospel-barren neighboring community.  They have the heart but lack the map. We're helping them draw that map, exploring how God can use us to help them birth a new church as theirs has grown in health.  Pray for open doors, the right man, and wisdom to build the right plan.

A great view of part of Arequipa!

Then, Arequipa!  A city of 1.5 million strong, and we were there.  Neighborhood:  Horacio Zeballos.  Three days of raw, "boots on the ground" ministry.  Thirty cold-call interviews, teaching, encouragement – we are building a blueprint for church health, gospel growth and future church planting. May God do this.

We shared Christ with this Tatoo Artist named Santiago while there. Pray for his salvation!

Now?  We're juggling three Peruvian regions, coaching leaders, and witnessing God's multiplication firsthand.  And it's not stopping!  Three more areas, that include two new countries, are on the horizon.  Pray for explosive growth, for divine connections, and for God to be glorified in and through us. This isn't just work; it's a front-row seat to God's power. Join us in prayer as we serve His extraordinary vision for Latin America!
